Three Great Blue Herons Fishing at Sunset
Three Great Blue Herons, each fishing around sunset for one more meal….or two or three.
Each heron at a different distance from me.
“Focused”
“Ready To Strike”
“Fishing on Golden Waters”
All three photos taken this past February 2019 at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, Cambridge, Maryland.

Nice shots. I really like the last composition with the solitary bird far off and the golden light.
Thank you, David!

My favourite water birds. Great shots, Donna. Love the golden waters.
Thank you, Sylvia!
Geat pictures! I envy your close location to Blackwater and Hoopers Island, but then again, I love my back yard and quiet cove as much as the wading birds do. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Susan! We both have a great location for bird and wildlife watching. š
Super shots, the last one is my favourite.
Thank you, Brian!

What wonderful birds! I have been very happy to see several who have already returned here for the summer.
Thank you, yes, they are making their way back north, glad to see they’re already showing up in your area!
Quite the slant to the eye in the first one, all the better to fish with. Lovely scenerios.
Thank you, Jane!
One of my favourite birds.
Mine too. š
Gorgeous sunset. And such intense concentration captured in the eyes.
Thank you, Chris! Those eyes are so big too!
I love your gorgeous photographs, Donna.
Thank you, Isabel!
They certainly have focusing down to an art form. Liked all three, but I truly enjoyed the final scene. I rarely think to include the environment or setting that the birds are in. It does give that added touch of context. Great post, as always, Donna!
Thank you, Gunta! I know I love to get close-ups and show detail, but I try to remember to take habitat shots too. Sometimes over-excitement takes over the brain and forgets, lol. š
Then there are those times I just tell the brain to shut up! š
